F. W. Becker will NOT be chief of police. The Minute Men, who nominated him, might as well accept that fact. They should waste no more time over it.

These are the facts that must be faced. Becker WAS an unhappy selection. This much CAN be said in extenuation of Gill’s broken word. But surely there are several military and naval officials who CAN qualify—and the Minute Men of Seattle can still avail themselves of Gill’s written promise. Let them put it up to him squarely. Let them nominate four or five men. Let him make the selec- tion then. It will put him to the test. It will prove whether he is sincere. He can then have no excuse for saying he did not know the name of the man the Minute Men had in mind. Let the Minute Men give Gill another chance. If he fails then, the city will act.
